Story

This ceramic figurine is inspired by Li Bai, one of China's most celebrated poets from the Tang Dynasty. He was known for his deep connection to nature, freedom, and contemplation, often finding inspiration in the moon. His famous poem, "Drinking Alone with the Moon," captures a spirit of finding companionship in the natural world.

Placing this poet figurine in your display connects your bonsai to this rich artistic and literary tradition. It serves as a quiet focal point, representing the peaceful moments of reflection that are central to the art of bonsai.
